This class has been carefully designed to progress women confidently throughout their pregnancy and post-natal recovery from vaginal and caesarean births. Recommended to begin once you have passed your first trimester, or postnatally once you have had your post natal check up with your GP or Obstetrician for the all clear to begin exercise (often around 6 weeks), as well as an assessment with our physio.
This is a full body workout conducted on the Pilates reformer using spring-loaded resistance with a focus on core strength and stabilisation, posture and flexibility. Because the springs are adjustable, this class offers mamas of all levels a safe return to exercise post birth. Your bub may lie on a mat next to you or socialise with other bubs. You can bring in your pram, a baby bouncer, capsule, or simply use our exercise mats for some floor time!
Classes are capped at 6 people so you receive personal attention and guidance from our qualified Instructors.
A physio postnatal assessment is required before commencing this class to find out about your birth and recovery, ensure that you know how to activate your pelvic floor muscles, assess any abdominal separation and give you some guidance about where your recovery is at. This also ensures that our instructors can tailor their instructions to your level.
Please note:
**this class is not eligible for PHI rebates.
**this is a group class where everyone works through similar exercises together. If you are experiencing pain or a complex recovery, then our Clinical classes will offer you an individualised program.
